Official Images: Air VaporMax 97 'Japan'

Nike's Air VaporMax has taken one step forward and two steps back. The upcoming Air VaporMax Flyknit 2 builds on its predecessor's performance prowess with a plethora of tweaks to improve your run, but the Air VaporMax 97 and just-introduced Air VaporMax Plushark back to the past, transplanting heritage uppers on to the cushy VaporMax Air bag.

Nike are reaching deep into the archives for their new 97 hybrid, blessing it with one of the wavy runner's greatest colourways for its debut. The Air VaporMax 97 'Japan' perfectly replicates the OG 97 release with one stand-out exception – the massive eye-catching 'Volt' VaporMax sole unit!

The Air VaporMax 97 'Japan' will release on March 9 through Nike SNKRS and select stockists. Don't miss out!
